GHSA-h3f9-mjwj-w476
No affected components available
Summary
A mismatch between rawCommand and command[] in the node host system.run handler could cause allowlist/approval evaluation to be performed on one command while executing a different argv.
Affected Configurations
This only impacts deployments that:
- Use the node host / companion node execution path (
system.runon a node). - Enable allowlist-based exec policy (
security=allowlist) with approval prompting driven by allowlist misses (for exampleask=on-miss). - Allow an attacker to invoke
system.run.
Default/non-node configurations are not affected.
Impact
In affected configurations, an attacker who can invoke system.run can bypass allowlist enforcement and approval prompts by supplying an allowlisted rawCommand while providing a different command[] argv for execution.
Affected Packages / Versions
- Package:
openclaw(npm) - Affected versions:
<= 2026.2.13 - Patched version:
>= 2026.2.14(planned next release)
Fix
Enforce rawCommand/command[] consistency (gateway fail-fast + node host validation).
